The Windows Store app model is derived from COM, but .NET is something else altogether. That is why there are COM interop classes.
On Windows, the .NET CLR/GC/JIT is implemented via COM. Every time you run a .NET executable, the .NET CLR is injected as an in-proc COM server. Also, if your native apps ever need to host the CLR, you would use the COM based API.
Of course, it's an implementation detail, so an end-developer using C# or VB need not be aware of this

Having a COM-based hosting is slightly different from ".NET is still COM".

I agree. I should have expressed that better. Mostly, I was implying that COM is certainly not dead.

I'm doing modern windows development too. Just started with...
int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance, LPSTR lpCmdLine, int nCmdShow)
{
MSG msg;
BOOL bRet;
for(; ; )
{
bRet = GetMessage(&msg, NULL, 0, 0);
if (bRet > 0)
{
TranslateMessage(&msg);
DispatchMessage(&msg);
}
else if (bRet < 0)
{
}
else
{
break;
}
}
return msg.wParam;
}
It's a joke, people. A joke. But, also, that code still works.

For a few moments I was confused too - not just to others, brown people look the same to brown people as well. Then I noticed that he had glasses, so it couldn't be me. That was a huge relief, since I didn't want to be in new Delhi since I don't really speak Hindi all that well.

I wouldn't normally make this sort of off-color remark (see what I did there?), but since you brought it up:
Please tell your buddy to stop calling me about my infected Windows computer.

That'd be great, if you don't mind. How does your address book scale like that?

1. One step further and the receptionist becomes a generated image and voice and then humans are not needed for reception.
2. One step after that and you are turned into a robot visitor and then humans are not needed at all.

Of course in the not-too-distant future, having actual human staff will be a sign of utter swank.

sigh. I liked our receptionist. She should have seen the cut coming though. Even so, I swear to God, if I ever met someone like that as a "receptionist" I'd reach out and rotate the head some iterations of 180 degrees. I mean really, you walk into a business and you're greeted with that? Put some tits on it at least!

I was asked that yesterday and didn't really know. It's always interesting to discover where my knowledge gaps are.
Great article[^] on it right here on CP!
